Explore the Sierras at a Downieville B&B

Gold was discovered in Downieville in the summer of 1849 and the town retains much of its Gold Rush era charm. Losing the bid to be California’s State Capitol by just 10 votes, Downieville if full of character and tradition. Located along Highway 49 at the fork of the North Yuba and Downie rivers, the region is perfect for water activities, hiking and getting away from it all.
